长三角（嘉兴）Token运营中心于2026年7月30日正式启动，由嘉兴市城市投资发展集团有限公司主导运营[1]。该中心作为区域性AI算力和模型服务平台，旨在整合分散的算力资源[1]。这一举措反映出城投公司在转型升级背景下，正将传统数据资源运营延伸至Token计量和交易结算环节[1]。
全国范围内，北京、扬州、温州等地的地方国资也相继围绕Token建设了类似运营平台[1]。嘉兴在AI算力领域具有较强基础——该市拥有规上工业企业6327家、AI科创企业230余家，本地算力占全省60%以上[1]，并已集聚润泽、阿里、中国电信、中国移动四个万卡级算力中心[1]。同时，行业增长速度迅猛，2026年3月全国日均词元调用量突破140万亿次，较2024年初增长超过1000倍[1]。业界预计，到"十五五"末，中国人工智能相关产业规模可突破10万亿元[1]。
The Yangtze River Delta (Jiaxing) Token Operating Center, led by Jiaxing City Investment Development Group, officially launched on July 30, 2026, serving as a regional artificial intelligence computing power and model service platform that consolidates fragmented computational resources.[1] This initiative reflects a broader trend among local state-owned enterprises across China seeking to expand their operational scope beyond traditional data resource management into token quantification and transaction settlement, thereby addressing structural pressures facing municipal investment corporations during their business transformation.
The timing of the center's establishment comes as demand for computational resources surges across the nation.[1] By March 2026, daily token usage across China reached 1.4 quadrillion calls, representing more than a thousandfold increase since early 2024.[1] Jiaxing's competitive position in this emerging sector is strengthened by its existing industrial base, which includes 6,327 large-scale industrial enterprises and more than 230 AI innovation companies, while accounting for more than 60 percent of the province's computational capacity.[1] The city has already attracted four ten-thousand-GPU-level computing centers operated by Runze, Alibaba, China Telecom, and China Mobile.[1]
The Jiaxing center is not an isolated development. Municipal investment corporations in Beijing, Yangzhou, and Wenzhou have similarly established token-focused operating platforms, signaling coordinated efforts by local governments to position themselves within China's rapidly expanding artificial intelligence ecosystem.[1] Industry projections suggest that China's artificial intelligence-related industrial scale could exceed 10 trillion yuan by the end of the fifteenth five-year plan period.[1]
